Jp Bibron: Set Of Four Salt Cellars From The Empire Period, 2nd Cockerel. Winged Women. 19th
Artist: Jean-pierre Bibron
Magnificent set of four salt cellars from the Empire period.
The salt cellars rest on three lion paw feet topped with winged women's terms supporting a frieze of palmettes.
The quality of the half-human - half-animal figures is remarkable, the wings are finely detailed, as are the faces
The interiors are in channel-cut glass. One of them is thicker, it is probably later.
The salt cellars are hallmarked:
. 2nd rooster hallmark 1st title for 950 silver in Paris between 1809 and 1819
. Minerva's head hallmark of average guarantee for the same period
. Goldsmith's hallmark: JPB with a lion and a star for Jean Pierre Bibron, active from 1798
. Later crab hallmark
. Minerva's head hallmark after 1838
A magnificent set of salt cellars with a superb, remarkably executed decoration, in the pure imperial style of the early 19th century.
